We have amazing medics on the ground putting their lives on the line to help any person down. That's what medics do. They cross political lines to save peoples lives. They tried to last night in Portland after a member of Patriot Prayer was shot. He was alive still when they got to him. That's when police pushed them away from the victim and prevented our on the ground medics from helping. Police even kicked away the first aid supplies that could have potentially saved his life. Police shined a light in his eyes and ignored offering medical attention to the man. Street medics had occlusive barriers and tools to help him until the emt arrived. Instead police let him lay there to die to preserve the evidence of the scene. Police are not trained to save lives. Police are trained to protect evidence. It was Black Lives Matter medics who tried to save him. Any threat of war from the right is warmongering and illegitimate and it is threats of terror. Waging war on and murdering civilians is a war crime. War is a dreadful and painful experience civilians do not want to have. We are calling for massive demilitarization of our nations police and militias. We do not want a war with anybody. We are demanding systemic change, not more black lives taken away. Black Lives Matter!

"According to Alexander Reid Ross, an academic who researches far-right violence, vigilantes have assaulted protesters at least sixty-four times, driven cars into protesters at least thirty-nine times, and shot at protesters at least nine times — and that’s just counting the violence that occurred since May.

Despite the violence, police have not cracked down on right-wing counterprotesters."

Our immediate demands are:

Including any encampments, squats, and seized PHA housing.
Permanently end homeless sweeps and service days.

Starting this week in Pennsylvania, the eviction moratorium is over. Those who lose their cases in court will be able to be evicted starting September 8th. The state of Pennsylvania has yet to extend the moratorium, and has instead elected so far through inaction to double the United States homeless population from 500k people to 1 million. The state of Pennsylvania has elected through inaction to create the highest concentration of homelessness in our nation. The city of Philadelphia has chosen to evict homeless encampments on September 9th. This is what economic injustice looks like in our state everyone.

Philadelphia residents received an extended moratorium until next year. But they didnt include the homeless encampments. Despite CDC guidelines being against evicting encampments, the folks on the ground have been ordered in court to be evicted, and will be evicted on September 9th by notice. We are not going to just sit around and be told to scurry off and die at the hands of eviction in the State of Pennsylvania. We will stand up and fight to stop all evictions. We will sit in the housing authorities. We will mass squat in government owned homes. We will not accept a death sentence from our city government. We will work together to ensure every person has a shelter, has a home, has food and clean water. We will build mutual aid. We will stand up and fight for those who have the least amount of protections in our nation. Because all of us are 1 bad day from being homeless ourselves.

Pennsylvania, we have a poll going around statewide to all Pennsylvania BLM, RUST, and SOS channels regarding how we can respond to 500k folks being threatened with eviction in the state. Please give your input on how we can fight this extreme and inhumane state violence threatened on our families!

To those who need to know where to park their vehicles they live in, some Walmarts and Cracker Barrels currently offer individuals the ability to park in their lots and sleep in their vehicles. The problem is, each walmart will need 4200 parking spaces to help every evicted Pennsylvanian household park in their lots. That becomes 3500 parking spaces if we include all of the cracker barrel locations too.
